What would you do if you won a big money in the lottery?

I would definatly buy my mom and dad a house, my husband parent's a house, us a house on the lake, in the moutins and in the country. I would invest in real estate so I continue to grow my income and the rest would go in the bank and I would set myself on a limit on how much to spend. I would still like to work from home but let my husband retire so he can be home with me and travel around the world. I would want to leave like 20 million to live off in there for after retirement.

i will married, and if you lake i will invite u to be my wife and i will give my money for u, oke... kidding..

I would go on a crazy shopping spree for a like a couple weeks and get all the things I've wanted for the past couple years. I would buy a 1967 mustang, about 10 pairs of puma shoes, 5 pairs of nike shoes, a couple reeboks, I would buy a few things for my computer, a bigger aquarium for my turtles, maybe a few new hats?, then I would put the rest in savings for college and a house.

What a nice thought... Hmmm, allow me to daydream first.. LOLS! Well, first I will buy a car, my dream car that is. Then My dream house! Then I will invest some money in a good business. Then I will put some money in the bank as a security savings. Some of the money I won will, of course, go to a charitable institution so I can share my blessings to the less fortunate. All of these things done, I will travel around the world with my family!!!

If assuming it will happen I will share 30% of that to any charity institution and 20% to buy an island and a yatch, for I know I cant consume such huge amount in my life time.... If I will just even put my 50% money which is still $20 million..in the bank for a time deposit at say.... even 12% per annum net of taxes,then therefore its 1% per month so as 1% of $20 Million is $200K per month or that is $6,660 per day can you spend that everyday just for your basic needs? And lastly of course I will invite you to be my guest in my island, so we chat... why you have such wish for me.... lol

Oh my gosh! I would save money for my childs education. I woudl save money for me to go to school to learn more things. I would make an emergency money fund. I would put it in stocks, bond, ira's and mutual funds. I would donate it to charity especially ones dealing with kids. I would pay off any debts. I would buy a modest home. Take the honeymoon I never had. /it is a lot of money , but I for sure would have plan of action So I don't spend it all, but I sure would get a whole new wardrobe!

im going to buy lots of pizza. hehe.. thats the thing i could think of at this moment because im very hungry. hehe.. seriously, im going to travel my parents and live abroad with them. as in the whole of them.

i would have one hell of a party then i would start my permanet drinking / fishing holiday

wow, that's great. i would like that to happen to me. what a windfall. with that amount, i know that i can live comfortably from then on. i will get the money lodged in the bank immediately while i will be mapping out plans as to how to deal with it. the money will have to go to more important things and some of it will have to be invested in a good business which can provide me with ample income. from the income derived from it, i can spend some to cover for the more pressing needs of the family from time to time.

Money can only increase the desire for more . If I would hav won a lot of money in lottery then i would hav been pursuing to complete my dream of a big ecofriendly bungalow with a landscped carved in the same way i hav in my mind. then left amount will be used in beneficial investment. then comes charity as happiness and peace comes in home when u start every work along with some good deeds.

I would buy an island and a big cannon to keep people away just lay on the beach and enjoy it, fish relax all day drink adn party all night.

if i would winn that money then i will invest it for my buisness and help poor peoples my giving them some work in my company so in that way i will start my buisness

Well, first of all i would go jumping around everywhere or go sooo crazy that i might as well jump on sumeone(lol)...well jokes apart first and foremost i would get my mom operated who has hernia,stone and fibroid in her stomach...thought it doesnt really pain her but wouldnt wait till she gets one ...then umm...i'd spend it on my brothers and myselfs education ..help my family people in their financial problems...ya buy some clothes for my self..then i want to go to Canada for further studies so i'll get myself prepared for it and then after i get to go there i'll call over my bro and mom...and keep them happy in every possible way and yeah!! would surely love to give some money for charity and give gifts to my friends who have always been there with me in my good as well as bad days..and i would want to do everything possible specially keeping everyone happy around me is my biggest achievement....

if i win big money in lottery, first thing i will donate around 15 % of money to the some charity or trust. With remaining money i will buy a company which is sick and on the verge of closing. Then i will invest money to make that company again profitable...

i will buy you a nice romantic candle light dinner and donate part of it to charity. The rest will be for my retirement and business.

Wow 40 million dollars! Well, for starters...I would put it all in the bank and start collecting interest on it right away! Then I would start planning a nice vacation somewhere that I have always wanted to go...maybe a short trip to Englad or Paris (so I dont have to spend a ton of it). This might sound lazy but the best thing for me would not having to worry about working. But I wouldnt sit around all day and act like snobby rich people. I like that I would be able to write my stories, and not having to worry if they would sell or not. If they did, GREAT...if they didn't...it's okay because I have 40mil in the bank! lol Good discussion. I had fun answering. now it really sucks that I wont be getting 40 million! lol

hey, i have never purchased a lottery. just give me the dollars if you have won. i will show you what i will do.

I would travel all over the world and shop for clothes and shoes! I would buy a large house for my future family.

wow.. it won't happen to me in reality i think.. but with that amount of money.. i can do alot of things.. first of all.. i'll divide the money into a few portions.. some for donation.. some for personal usage.. and some for my future.. i think i will donate maybe 20% of it.. and then the rest.. i'll figure out what should i do with it.. i think most important is to have an investment to backup your financial status... you're not always that lucky to win right? once you have the money.. it's best if you know how to maintain that wealth.. then you can help more people in the future =)

I love travelling. I would first arrange a world trip fo myself and a fiend ( seperately for my parents) I would then invest the balance in a bank and povide some of it to charity- and a part of the interest to charity. I know most ppl may say that u should give alot to charity- but i would give a small amount as I too have some need, right ??
